Pulling the Crank Sprocket

How to I remove this? I tried a 3 jaw puller, but the teeth were to big to fit between the gear and the block. What do you use?

Thats the crank sprocket, and I massaged your title a little bit to be more accurate and get you more responses.

I have a GM puller I bought while working at GM I use, but I'm sure others will fill in with the pullers they have.

I just took the one that I have and ground the ends down on it a little bit so they would fit. Be carefull and dont gind to much or you will break your puller.

i used the pulley install tool (from hawk on here) and put my old sprocket in between the two to make it be able to seat all the way IIRC.
